how can we be united if we differ so much?

discuss.

You are united in the persons of your figurehead monarchs, and by the fact that the English still have an army and the Scots no longer do. Though I'm sure a lot of Scots serve in that army....

How can we be lovers if we can't be friends?

We should not be united.

Scotland being part of the United Kingdom has cost the Scottish People their chance to prosper over the last 30 years. This lost opportunity was documented in 1974 in the Conservative commissioned McCrones Report into the economics of Scottish Independence. It found:

* Scotland has an “embarrassing surplus of wealth”
* Scotland would have been Europe's third wealthiest Nation
* The Scots Pound would become the strongest in Europe with the exception of the Norwegian kronor.
* A strong Scottish currency could attracted investors like Swiss Banks

These findings were hidden from the public for 30 years.

If you weren't a bunch of skirt-wearing drunkards, the English wouldn't be taking your money away like a schoolyard bully.

Excellent, glad you took something away from that video then.
